Chapter 179

• Bridget brushed Jamie's hair; she couldn't help but feel a sense of love and contentment. She loved these moments with her daughter when they could just relax and enjoy each other's company. She took her time with Jamie's hair, making sure each strand was perfectly in place. And as she worked, she told Jamie stories about her childhood, and how much she loved going to school. Jamie listened intently, absorbing every word.
• When Bridget was finished, she gave Jamie a big hug and said,
• "I love you so much, my sweet girl."
